Product Description
Written by a 20-year veteran of the U.S. intelligence community, this second edition reflects the latest geopolitical factors affecting global terrorist incidents and regional insurgencies. A new section includes an analysis of transformations within Al Qaeda, coverage of the modern insurgency, and new global and regional terrorist groups. Completely updated, the section on terrorist tactics reveals the latest trends and attack methods and includes a new chapter on previously unseen suicide bombings. This book is an invaluable training tool on how to identify an attack; how to mitigate damage from successful attacks; and how to recognize the various stages of developing terrorist plots.

 An easy way for our government to identify terrorists November 4, 2008
...would be to look in the mirror. The so-called "war on terror" was an unprovoked attack by the US on a country that had absolutely no involvement in 9/11. George Bush has been the world's most dangerous terrorist the last few years, but somehow he doesn't fit the author's narrow definition.

5-Stars on Mr. Nance's "Terrorist Recognition Hamdbook!" This should be considered a Terrorist Primer on terrorist awareness and preparedness for observing terrorist surveillance indicators and preplanning. It is "well-worth" the price tag and it is highly recommended!

This book contains a lot of information relating to detecting terrorists BEFORE they strike. This is vitally important. The information out there on this is scattered all over the place and in varying detail. This book clearly and comprehensively covers many aspects of recognising terrorist pre-attack activities.
It includes information like some basic terrorist profiles and the pitfalls of profiling, terrorist cells and recognising key terrorist activities such as safe houses, terrorist surveillance techniques, terrorist attack cycle and terrorist tactics and intent.
It is quite detailed and at the same time doesn't waffle. It is useful, practical information all in the one place. Recommended highly.
